What is BioStudies?

The mission of BioStudies is to provide access to all the data outputs of a life sciences study from a single place, by organising links to data in other databases at EMBL-EBI or elsewhere, as well as hosting data and metadata that do not fit anywhere else. The database accepts submissions via an online tool, or in a simple tab-delimited format. BioStudies provides rich mechanisms for defining and using metadata guidelines specific for a particular data source such as a project or a community, and organises datasets in collections.
